This Girl’s a Killer, by Emma C. Wells, is a thriller about woman trying to right the wrongs of men. Cordelia Black deeply cares about her reputation and her success. She drives a fancy car, has a designer wardrobe, and has a sterling reputation as a pharmaceutical sales rep. Cordelia Black also has a deadly secret. During the night she goes on the hunt. She finds and rids Louisiana of horrible men who have evaded justice. That is until the disappearances start getting noticed, and the news is throwing around the term “serial killer”. When Cordelia’s best friend, Diana, starts to date a new man it looks like everything might crumble down around her.

This book is action packed and fast paced. It’s hard to put down once you get into the story. Despite being a murderer, Cordelia a sympathetic character. Her past is well thought out by Wells, and it explains why Cordelia is the way that she is. Wells does a great job of getting the reader to root for Cordelia all throughout the book. The mystery element is well done. The twists and turns will keep you guessing. The themes in this book are good. However, Well’s is a little heavy handed with the message.

The majority of this book revolves around the relationship of Cordelia and Diana. At its core it’s a book about the power of female friendship. Cordelia and Diana have a strong friendship. In fact, Cordelia is the godmother of Diana’s daughter. The history between Diana and Cordelia is explained in the book. It could have been more fleshed out. The most heart wrenching conflict in the book is the growing distance between Diana and Cordelia. Had the relationship between them been more concrete and explained, it would have been easier to understand Cordelia’s motivations.

Overall, this is an enjoyable book to read. It’s easily finished in an afternoon. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys mystery and thriller books. If you enjoyed Butcher and Blackbird, then you would likely enjoy this book. It does lack the element of romance, but there is a similar vibe to the storyline.
